I am SO Excited…

Great Race-logo-2012-color

… I just registered Harry and I for the 5k distance of the CITY OF PITTSBURGH GREAT RACE!

Last year I ran the 10k DISTANCE OF THE GREAT RACE 2011 and loved every step.  It was very emotional.

To date – it’s the only 10k distance race I’ve run.  I thought about running it again this year, but then when Harry said that he wanted to participate in the 5k distance, well – I really thought that it would be great for us to do it together.

As I’ve already said WE'VE BEEN HEADING TO THE TRACK SEVERAL DAYS PER WEEK and I want to be there when Harry crosses the Finish Line.  He’s been there for me for every race but one [MOM WAS THERE FOR THE WHISKEY REBELLION 2011].

The 5k race begins at 8am and the 10k begins at 9:30am – so I’d miss his entire race!

Besides, there are moments that I don’t feel the need to recreate and that moment when my young cousin caught up to me on the 10k course? I can’t replicate it…

I’m happy to say that there are a number of folks who will be also running/walking both 5k and 10k distances of the race – we’re DEFINITELY having pancakes at the FINISH LINE!!

YESTERDAY'S 2.02 MILES AROUND THE TRACK shouldn’t go unheralded – although, while it wasn’t anything to write home about – it was consistent.

While we all strive to push ourselves out of our comfort zone, some times we need to take note of our consistency…
